I've done that multiple times with no problem.ĭid you follow any particular process as far as uninstalling old drivers first, and if so which drivers?Īlways make sure you don't mis-match your IDE vs AHCI settings when migrating old hardware. My main question is will it be possible to do these hardware upgrades while leaving the HDDs/SSDs in place and not reinstalling Windows on either machine? Is there a process that I should follow where I would uninstall all the old mobo- and CPU-related drivers before doing the hardware swap, then install all the new drivers after the hardware swap? Or can I just leave all the existing drivers installed then install the new drivers over the top? Am I creating more trouble for myself by attempting this? So I'm planning on injecting a new mobo+CPU into this mix and I figure the 3.5 year old mobo+CPU will have better Windows 7 support, so I'm thinking my best option is to move the Ivy Bridge/Z77 setup into the media center and buy something new for the desktop.
I also have a 3.5 year old desktop running Windows 10 with an Ivy Bridge i5-3570K on a Z77 mobo. What I have is a Windows 7 PC running Windows Media Center with a Clarkdale i3-530 on an H57 mobo, and I have no real reason to upgrade to Windows 8 and won't upgrade to Windows 10 since I would lose WMC. Here’s how to do it.I need to upgrade the 6 year old mobo (and consequently the CPU) in my media center PC so I can add a modern graphics card for doing some Steam big picture gaming on the couch. This can become an issue if your primary SSD has limited storage space.Īlso, if you have upgraded to an SSD, moving games from traditional hard drives to faster storage can help you reduce the loading time.įortunately, Blizzard allows you to change the game directory for new installation and move existing games to a new directory with little hassle.
Some Blizzard games can take up to 130 GBs of space on your hard drive. Although you can change the directory in the settings and try to reinstall the game, having to download over 100 GBs of data again is no fun-especially if you have a measured internet connection. The client, by default, installs all the games in your Windows installation directory. Why Move Blizzard Games to Another Drive? If you are running out of storage space on your primary drive, here is how to move Blizzard games to another drive without reinstallation. But these are extremely large games, usually requiring over 100 GB of storage space. Blizzard games like World of Warcraft, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Cold War, Vanguard, and the popular Call of Duty Warzone have excellent graphics.
